So earlier today I was erupting to Sfingi about the reaction of CNN and even FoxNews regarding the controversy surrounding the AIG bonuses. As always, Sfingi just laughed, I tried to explain my outrage is not only a policy objection, its the fundamental lack of logic that dictates them. Look, I objected to the AIG bailout, a business is darwinistic in that the the strongest and best manage survive...the others either fall or become absorbed by another. Regardless, AIG is GIVEN 170 billion, no strings attached to artificially survive another day. It spends .1% on its contractually obligated merit and performance based bonuses...which I might add would undoubtedly recirculate in the economy, and its an outrage. What kind of company actually honors its legal contract with its most efficient employees, the honest thing to do would be to illegally steal the bonus and spend it elsewhere in ways that also have no strings attached. AIG did the right thing. So the honorable Larry Reid and Chuck Shumer come up with a brilliant response, like a bully in a schoolyard they promise a tax to revoke the entire bonus. I hope they each get a boyle inside their asshole. So Sfingi once again giggles at my ire and naivete, reminds me I'm supposed to be a politico and none of this is a surprise.

So Sfingi was attentive and sympathetic to my issues, but earlier this morning when i first heard of the AIG rebellion, I was watching Jenny clean our cockerspaniel's ears when she accidentally broke off the cotton tip in one of his ears. As shes desperately and quietly trying to remove it I'm exploding with the above sentiments and the more I rail, the more Jenny is panicking at our failure to rescue the Qtip. Finally, she blurts out "Would you shut the fuck about this and please help me get this out his ear. Neither Barack Obama or Harry Reid is going to pay the 300 fucking dollar vet bill if we don't.!!" Sheez, Silent No More indeed.
